Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A machine-implemented method, the method comprising: receiving a content item generated at a user device; identifying a predetermined point of interest associated with a location of the user device; determining that the user device was at the point of interest for a threshold period of time before the content item was generated and when the content item was generated; and in response to determining that the user device was at the point of interest for the threshold period of time before the content item was generated and when the content item was generated, adding the content item to an existing set of content items corresponding to the predetermined point of interest, wherein each content item of the existing set of content items is associated with the predetermined point of interest.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing, based on a predetermined association between the set of content items and the predetermined point of interest, the set of content items for display in a virtual content wall associated with the point of interest.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content item comprises a photo captured at the point of interest.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the point of interest is a defined establishment.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the point of interest is an area associated with a short term event.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining a geographic location associated with the predetermined point of interest according to a geographic indicator associated with the predetermined point of interest.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location of the user device is a geographic location of the user device at a time of generating the content item.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining a geographic location associated with the content item, wherein the geographic location associated with the content item is determined according to a geotag associated with the content item.

9

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving an identification of the predetermined point of interest; comparing a geographic location associated with the point of interest to a geographic location associated with the content item; and determining that the geographic location associated with the content item is within a predefined distance associated with the point of interest.

10

10. A system for optimizing displaying of a rich web document to a user, the system comprising: one or more processors; and a machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising: receiving a content item generated at a user device; identifying a predetermined point of interest associated with a location of the user device; determining that the user device was at the predetermined point of interest for a threshold period of time before the content item was generated and when the content item was generated; and in response to determining that the user device was at the predetermined point of interest for the threshold period of time before the content item was generated and when the content item was generated, adding the content item to an existing set of content items corresponding to the predetermined point of interest, wherein each content item of the existing set of content items is associated with the predetermined point of interest.

11

11. The system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising: comparing a geographic location associated with the predetermined point of interest to a geographic location associated with the content item; and determining that the geographic location associated with the content item is within a predefined distance of the geographic location associated with the predetermined point of interest.

12

12. The system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising: providing, based on a predetermined association between the set of content items and the predetermined point of interest, the set of content items for display in a virtual content wall associated with the predetermined point of interest.

13

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the content item comprises a photo of patrons of the predetermined point of interest captured at the predetermined point of interest.

14

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined point of interest is a business or residence.

15

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined point of interest is an area associated with an event.

16

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the location of the user device is a geographic location of the user device at a time of generating the content item.

17

17. The system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising: determining a geographic location associated with the content item, wherein the geographic location associated with the content item is determined according to a geotag associated with the content item.

18

18. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: receiving a content item generated at a user device; determining that the user device was at a predetermined point of interest for a threshold period of time before the content item was generated and when the content item was generated; and in response to determining that the user device was at the predetermined point of interest for the threshold period of time before the content item was generated and when the content item was generated, adding the content item to an existing set of content items corresponding to the predetermined point of interest, wherein each content item of the existing set of content items is associated with the predetermined point of interest; and providing, based on a predetermined association between the set of content items and the predetermined point of interest, the set of content items for display in association with the predetermined point of interest.
